Botox is a highly effective anti-aging and skin-smoothing solution that works by temporarily weakening muscles at the injection site, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As the most commonly performed non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the United States, Botox is also used for various medical purposes, such as treating migraine headaches, TMJ, and more. Here’s a look at the common facial areas that can be treated with Botox at Infuse Wellness in Melbourne, FL.
Cosmetic Botox Treatment Areas
Botox is administered using small needles to minimize discomfort. To help pinpoint the ideal injection sites, your provider may ask you to make facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting. Botox is typically priced per unit, with some areas requiring more units than others. Results generally last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the area treated.
1. Forehead (10-30 units)
The forehead is a common area for Botox injections, as it’s often one of the first places where signs of aging appear. Botox can effectively smooth out horizontal wrinkles along the brow.
2. Between Eyebrows (10-25 units)
Known as the glabella or “11” lines, the vertical wrinkles between your eyebrows can give a tired or angry look. Botox smooths these lines for a more relaxed and vibrant appearance.
3. Upper Eyebrow (2-5 units each side)
Injecting Botox into the upper eyebrow can lift the brow area, mimicking the effects of an eyebrow lift by relaxing the muscles that cause drooping eyelids.
4. Crow’s Feet (5-15 units each side)
Crow’s feet are the fine lines that form at the corners of the eyes when you smile. Botox can help smooth these lines, which tend to be more pronounced due to the thinner skin around the eyes.
5. Bunny Lines (5-10 units each side)
These are the wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face or smile. Botox can smooth these lines, which sometimes extend up toward the lower eyelid.
6. Dimpled Chin (2-6 units)
Overactive muscles and age-related collagen loss can cause a dimpled or puckered chin. Botox helps smooth the chin for a more youthful appearance.
7. Smile Lines (3-6 units each side)
Botox can treat lines that form at the corners of the mouth and extend down toward the jaw, which can cause the mouth to droop. This treatment helps maintain a happier, more lively look.
8. Neck Bands (25-50 units)
Horizontal and vertical neck wrinkles can develop with age. Botox prevents neck muscles from sagging and can improve the jawline, providing a non-surgical neck lift effect.
9. Non-Surgical Nose Job (2-4 units)
Botox can lift the nasal tip by relaxing muscles that pull it downward when smiling or talking. This technique, known as liquid rhinoplasty, can also be combined with dermal fillers for further contouring.
10. Botox Lip Flip (10 units)
Also known as a Botox lip lift, this technique uses Botox to mildly roll the upper lip outward, creating a fuller pout. It also helps reduce fine lines around the upper lip.
11. Gummy Smile Treatment (2-4 units)
For those who show excessive gum tissue when smiling, Botox can relax the muscles, reducing the elevation of the upper lip and resulting in a more balanced smile.
